Rose Seidler House, Wahroonga, New South Wales, Australia,
The Rose Seidler House is widely considered the first fully modernist house built in Australia and a landmark of twentieth-century residential architecture.
Designed by Austrian-born architect Harry Seidler for his parents, Rose and Max Seidler, the house was completed in 1950.
Educated in the United States under Walter Gropius at Harvard Graduate School of Design, and influenced by Marcel Breuer, Seidler brought the principles of Modernism and the Bauhaus tradition to Australia.
The architect, Harry Seidler, was the winner of the 1951 Sir John Sulman Medal
Rose Seidler House was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.
